[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1811096, member: 204485"] Well i seem to have fixed the problem. As easy as a soft reset. Although we have only had one night to confirm last night it was fine. maybe just a glitch but as a result i did download coconut battery for my wife and checked her battery status. Turns out it is surprisingly good. After 610 cycles it is still getting 89.3% charge. Its possible my wife has hit on the best recharge regime by accident. I did some research on phone battery charging recently in order to debunk some persistent old wives tales about charging Lithium Ion batteries expressed by a contributor on another forum. It turns out, based on findings by the so called "Battery University" that it is better to; a. never allow your battery to fall below 20% or above 90%. Levels below or above these levels cause "stress" to the battery. b. although this stress is minimal charging from 99% to 100% repeatedly such as when you device is plugged in overnight will have an effect on battery life. c. Below 20% it is strongly suggested Low Power Mode should be used to minimize this stress and charging before 10% is strongly advised. My lovely wife seems to have ticked all the boxes simply by her usage pattern. Because of the talking books at night she does not charge her phone o/night. She plugs it in during the day sporadically charging it up to maybe 80% at a time either in the car or on her MBP depending on where she is and this seems to be working for her. I on the other hand tend to just charge it o/night and not at all during the day. This means it trickle charges o/night but although I have a much lower recharge cycle count (390) my battery charge capacity is lower at 88.4%. So perhapes they're right. To overcome this issue without making drastic changes to my routine I grabbed an unused AC timer I had lying around and set it to be on from 10pm to 12am guessing that 2hrs would be roughly enough and given I usually plug my phone in around 10pm. Only time will tell if this works but it is an easy answer. [/QUOTE]
